There should be an "Acknowledged" feature on the feedback page because it feels like I'm shouting into a void posting there.

    I like it, I think Hellshire Iron could have a more interesting effect but apart from that these look like very welcome changes. It's a good balance between pre-nerf and current Slinger.

    Honey Locust I would prefer have the effect of Rusted Spike added to it. Hit or break chain. I do think Reeling could use buffs. I would not change speed of the shot.

    Not big on bringing back quickscope slinger in any way, the amount of people that complained about it back then was pretty noteworthy and it's removal was frankly a betterment to the game's health.

    I'll grant no concessions. I want pre-nerf Deathslinger's quickscoping back, and nothing less. I'll play no iteration of him that doesn't have it.

    This still isn't quickscope slinger, that was 0.15s, this is 0.25s.

    While it may not seem like it, for slinger 0.1s is a noticeable amount of time. Only 0.25s got added and that pretty much killed him.

    The people who complained about his quickscoping want counterplay at any point in the chase, even when they themselves make the mistake. Mad that he can option select you at a pallet/window? Don't go there then. Mad that he shoots you when you stop dodging? Keep dodging then. You are not supposed to be in control of the chase. The killer should be. That's what people miss.

    Just remove the sensitivity thing when aiming.

    also make his harpoon break walls/pellets/gens.

    It was fun because it was 15 meters and encouraged long shots.
